20 years ago, I would have said no, but today, with all this talk of been equal to men, all the false accusations, the lack of respect for fathers, feminism's lies and false statistics on rape, sexual assaults, rape culture, patriarchy, all men bad, we beat our women on Superbowl day, we achieve power through rape, all men are pigs, all sex with men is rape, p.i.v. is rape, on and on and on...

Respect is earned, and most women deserve it, but there are some who have taken advantage of the lies against men and have done everything to put us in a situation where we have to defend ourselves.

If a man hits you, most men will hit back, (unless one is dealing with a mangina, they'll whine and call 911)

So if a woman slaps you first, do you have the right to slap her back???

I mean, isn't this what cat loving hateful feminists are preaching???

EQUALITY?

Because this is what real radical feminist want, whatever men do, women have the right to do the same, have the same reaction, the same neutral laws, to be treated the same...

Equality has it's laws of nature, women are equal in their own way, the right to work, to be stay at home moms, equal pay for equal work, to be safe, so on, but there must be an understanding we, men and women have limitation we must adhere to, and that is to recognize women are women, men are men, and that there is a big difference between the two, and to respect this, is to live in Harmony with each other....

What do you think, do you agree with Whoopi?

Personaly we agree with this post...Miss Whoopi Goldberg made a statement that has uber feminists everywhere pulling their own hair out today!

Everyone keep your hands and feet to yourself and the problem will be solved!

Taking into account, if a man is disrespectful, calls me names, touches me inappropriately, disrespect me as a woman, in the old days a woman was within her rights to slap him, today on the other hand, with all the confusion caused by feminism, this right we use to have as women is forgotten, no one knows who they are anymore. But if a woman slaps a man for violence sake? I agree with Whoopi. I also agree with your definitions of women and men, we are equal, but with limitation on both sides.

Any other time I would say no,but because of what is happening these days,and what I went through simply for been a father and who was behind all that,I would say a woman is a woman deserve to be treated and respected as such as long as she acts like one, a feminist on the other hand is not, and does not want to be recognized that way.So I would agree with runingwolf she has a point.

Wow, the conversation here and especially on the other site is lively, but from what I can understand, women generally agree violence is wrong but if a woman hits a man, he has the right to hit her back...surprised there...The men have a problem with this issue, the male instinct kicks in and they struggle with it, but because of what’s going on with all the feminist bullshit and lies about men, many of them just gave up on the knight in shining armour ideal. Though it is still there if a woman behaves as a woman, she gets respect, but claim to be a feminist and the gloves are off. What it comes down to is feminists are considered to be gender neutral, modesty is gone, self respect (as in slut walk), and if we do consider them as gender neutral, it takes away the mystique, in other words, why give respect to someone who doesn’t want it?
